These are the tools of con-men and dictators, both large and small. While such tactics aren't new, their scope and danger have never been greater.

The phrase 'Reality-Based Community' first appeared in a 2004 New York Times Magazine article by Ron Suskind. A senior advisor to George W. Bush criticized Suskind for being part of the 'reality-based community,' defining it as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from judicious study of discernible reality.' The advisor added, 'that's not the way the world really works anymore.' The exchange crystallized the understanding that those outside the reality-based community have felt a growing comfort in pushing agendas based on fabricated facts and gaining power through lies and false narratives. This comfort has now reached crisis levels.
